[OLD REGGIE]

Earlier in Luke we hear that "all generations will call her blessed." Then, according to your interpetation, Jesus contradicts that and says "Nah, forget her, blessed are the believers instead"

Editing the Bible too are you?

"all generations will call her blessed." Spoken by Mary.

Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.Spoken by Jesus.

And the truth is all generations will call her blessed.

And the truth is you,once again, are caught playing fast and loose with the truth.

[SoothingDave]

I guess "rather" has no meaning in that sentence.

Don't call me fast and loose. If Jesus says "rather" that means, in plain English, "instead."

That's the literalists interpretation. Jesus says "Instead of my mom, all believers are blessed."
